DPM has a volume fraction limit, so tends not to be suitable for sedimenter modelling where the volume fraction can be high (and become compacted) in the sludge layer. 

However, if the intent is to check for sediment removal DPM may be suitable as you simply look for how much of a given size is carried over.Â
